Self-denial by: Nicole “Sunshine” Ellis I was born into this world many years ago Where life would lead me nobody knows Although I was alive and moving around Without Christ, I was ultimately hell bound I didn’t start living until I accepted Christ Once He became my Savior, my life started going right However, there was one more thing required of me I had to deny-myself and follow Thee I had to deny myself of my fleshly desires I had to take up my cross in order to go higher Higher in Christ is where I want to be But I can’t get there if I focus on pleasing the flesh within me Self-denial-Sacrificing my personal pleasures It’s a necessary means to reach my spiritual endeavors I’d rather forgo things that will please my flesh And feed my spirit so God can get the best The best of me including a sincere heart It’s time for me and my flesh to part
